The Hoe Continues

Island of Darkness

~Previously on the last chapter~

"Farewell, creature from the sea. Enjoy your freedom."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"This whole island is swarming with Garmadon's indestructible Stone Army," Kai indicated, returning to the Bounty, where the ninja squad was. "HA! Good thing we're ninjas and we know how to hide." Jay laughed.

"Who wants to hide when you can fight? I'm getting tired of having our heads buried in the sand. I wanna fight these guys." Cole complained. "But Cole, they have no apparent weakness. It would be unwise to start a fight we cannot finished." Zane responds by pleading. "That is why we must find the Temple of Light." Wu emerged from the Bounty, explaining and ushering them all inside, where Misako laid out some scrolls. "The scrolls say there is a hidden temple on the island. If you find it, it will give the ninja pure elemental powers, powers that can destroy the indestructible army." She taught.

"So you're saying we get to fight? Whoo-hoo! I've got happy feet!" Cole cheered, and (Y/N) laughed at his enthusiasm. "And you, my son, hear it is written: 'For once the Green Ninja finds the instrument of peace, he will strike it and know the power of the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master," Misako spoke to Lloyd. "Ultimate Spinjitzu Master?" He questioned.

"It means you will be able to invoke the power of the Golden Dragon, an ancient fighting style only practiced by the First Spinjitzu Master." Misako explained, and the crew was astonished, which made Lloyd smirk. "Haha, jealous?" Lloyd cockily remarked.

"Watch it, La-Loyd." (Y/N) warns him. "Uh, wait a minute. This all sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?" Kai asked. "The catch is, the Temple could be anywhere on the island, and all we have is this." Wu presented Dr. Julien with a three-holed medallion. "A medallion. It's like a compass. When the three holes match up, the medallion will reveal where the temple is hidden." Julien advised. "Uh, how'd you know that?" Jay interrogated.

"Oh, I did a lot of reading in my spare time," The dear old doctor laughed. "Adventure stories were my favorite." He stated this as he handed the medallion to Zane. "Then what are we waiting for?" He asked and the ninjas got up.

Lloyd was then halted by Misako. "Not you, Lloyd." She ordered. "Ah, seriously? Are we still doing this?" Lloyd sighed as (Y/N) patted his shoulder and said, "Oh man, that's too bad, jealous?" (Y/N) smiled at him and followed the team out of the bounty. "Well, I could us some help around the shop. We should get working on vehicles that might give us a fighting chance." Dr. Julien said.

"Remember, Garmadon doesn't know we're on the island. You must stay out of sight." Wu demanded. "Of course, Sensei, don't worry. Have you ever known us to veer from a plan, huh?" Jay inquired, and Wu, Misako, and Lloyd looked at them, unimpressed, before the ninjas, with the exception of (Y/N), chanted loudly, "Ninja---"

(Y/N) blows some gentle breeze in the lads' faces to keep them quiet. "Not so loud. Are you trying to get us caught?" Wu uttered. "...go." They finished whispering.

The ninjas can now spy on the Stone Warriors from a safe distance. "Look, this must be Garmadon's camp." Jay spoke in hushed tones. "No, you think? I thought it was a takeout restaurant." Kai sighed and rolled his eyes. "It looks like he's building something, building what?"

"Quiet, you bozos." Cole said quietly as he took out the medallion, "We still need to find what the medallion matches up to." He stated. "Let me see," Zane took the medallion from the earth ninja and examined it. "Hmm, nothing matches. Wait!" Zane lets out a small gasp as he takes in what he's seeing.
